Hint: Order the Prime Rib
Red vinyl booths, framed black-and-white images of A-listers who have dined here, and the joint's history as a veritable private club for Tinseltown's elite make this National City spot more landmark than cafe. The menu is a surf-and-turf medley of sandwiches, shrimp, and burgers; for something really special, you can't go wrong with the prime rib steak.
